lyrics
The competition’s fucking real
You lie, you cheat, or you steal
It’s all just to survive
But who wants this kind of life
Every day keeps getting tougher
We’re only made to fucking suffer
Hardened by the pain and hurt
The lines we cross keep getting blurred
Chorus:
A better life than this, it surely must exist than here at the Bottom of the Heap
But I am what I am, just a simple working man, here at the Bottom of the Heap
Say there’s things you’d never do
Every day’s proving that untrue
Seems there’s never enough
You just hurt the ones you love
Grin and bear it, suck it up
Say that you don’t give a fuck
But the aches and pains of a poor man’s life
Want to open your veins with a switchblade knife
See the smile in other men’s eyes
Hate and suffering when you look in mine
All we do is slave away
No money to save, just bills to pay
The bottle ain’t helping to kill the pain
Watch as our time goes down the drain
The grass looks greener on the other side
Til we hop the fence and find it’s dyed
No life, there’s no life at the Bottom of the Heap
No life, there’s no life at the Bottom of the Heap
No life, there’s no life at the Bottom of the Heap
No life, there’s no life at the Bottom of the Heap

Music and Lyrics by Broken Heroes
Powerful in every way, this DC hardcore group's first full-length is the siren song to having no home as a person of color—in punk, in society, in America. It could not have arrived at a more appropriate time. Bandcamp Album of the Day Jul 15, 2016
Dead Cross, Retox, and Qui members dish out subversive hardcore with an indignant smirk; come for the riffs, stay for the synth experiments. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 31, 2024
Knockout debut from a Buffalo, New York-based hardcore band who like their riffs sick, their drums fast, and their choruses sticky-sweet. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 28, 2024
